but the idea is still applicable (and I've used it before with great results).


Besides TV remotes, the technology was last seen on devices like Palm Pilots facilitating the wireless transfer of contact info. But researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS in Dresden have rebuilt infrared—making it better, stronger, and most importantly, faster. It now boasts transfer speeds of one gigabit per second, making it 46 times faster than "convential Wi-Fi" as the researchers claim, and over 1,400 times faster than Bluetooth. The hardware, which relies on laser emitters and receivers no larger than a kid's fingernail, could be easily installed in smartphones so that sharing a large HD-res video could take mere seconds.
And I do agree with both of these points. But laws have to be made to be impartial (the blind lady and all). Same thing happened/happens with Microsoft vs. the rest of the world. They do the same things as others, and are held to a different standard. I can see the thought process behind it, and based on emotions and what I'd like to happen, I'd agree. But logic tells me that they all have to be treated the same way.
